Shop lighting with 300w CFL's

[GregWeld]

Great info!! Thanks!

BTW - my comments here regarding "heating" the shed with lights -- is only in context of - "using" electric heaters for heat... already (EXPENSIVE) so rather than try to heat a shop with a smallish (too small) electric heater - might as well leave the lights on for "help" (keeping the average temp higher) as the wattage to heat to a certain point is the same regardless of the source using it up. I may not be correct... but that was my thinking. It certainly has worked for me for the last 4 years... although my electric bill for "the shed" is around $300 a month (but my house is over $700 so seems cheap!). While I have natural gas to the shed - I just never followed through with a gas forced air heater because it simply hasn't been needed. The lights heat it just fine.
